21、For thousands of years, mankind has bred plants and animals to create more desired and useful plants and animals. For instance, modern corn has been bred to such a large size that it is no longer able to reproduce without man’s assistance. Modern dairy cows produce too much milk; and if they are not often drained of milk, they could leak, burst, become infected, and possibly die. Furthermore, most domesticated dogs can not survive in the wild even with special training. Since natural evolution is extremely slow and mankind’s selective breeding programs only take a few generations to produce a completely new species, natural evolution has already taken a backseat to mankind’s breeding programs.

Additionally, mankind has successfully killed off several species all together. For instance, there are no more European wolves in existence and mammoths probably became extinct because of mankind. Even certain diseases have been permanently eradicated (根除) from the planet, and dozens of other diseases will soon follow. Again, natural evolution did not cause most extinction during humanity’s reign.

Currently, scientists are creating new species with desired characteristics in the lab significantly faster than evolution creates new species. In a single generation, new species can be artificially created and destroyed, while natural evolution could take thousands of years to do the same but only haphazardly (偶然地). Scientists are even able to replace flawed (有缺陷的) or damaged genes with different genes in an attempt to cure genetic defects. This is something that natural evolution could possibly never correct.

Eventually scientists will be able to enhance even people. For example, imagine not only correcting your eyesight with gene therapy, but also ensuring that all of your descendants do not inherit your old genes of poor eyesight to. Scientists will one day be able to enhance the memory and intelligence of your children, so that they will do better in school and achieve more in life. Doctors and scientists will be able to customize babies before they are born just like picking options at a car dealership.

In the near future, natural evolution in the genetic code of any species can be quickly fixed if desired. As a result, natural evolution is doomed.

【1】From Paragraph 1 we learn that ______ .

A．selective breeding has improved all species

B．only selective breeding can make up for natural losses

C．modern corn can’t able to reproduce itself due to selective breeding

D．natural evolution can’t do without man’s assistance

【2】The underlined word “backseat ” in Paragraph 1 probably means “ ______ ” .

A．powerful assistance

B．important part

C．bad fortune

D．secondary position

【3】What do we know from the passage?

A．Selective breeding is partly beneficial to humans.

B．Genetic defects won’t be inherited due to natural evolution.

C．Natural evolution can’t create new species.

D．Selective breeding can determine the sex of babies.

【4】The author mainly wants to tell us that ______ .

A．selective breeding will cause the extinction of many species

B．natural evolution is almost dead with the development of selective breeding

C．selective breeding has aroused attention from all over the world

D．natural evolution survives strongly although it is in danger

22、As you grow older, you’ll be faced with some challenging decisions. Some don’t have a clear right or wrong answer—like should you play soccer or field hockey.【1】.

Making decisions on your own is hard enough, but when other people get involved and try to pressure you one way or another it can be even harder. People who are your age, like your classmates, are called peers. When they try to influence how you act, to get you to do something, it’s called peer pressure.

Peers can have a positive influence on each other. You might admire a friend who is always a good sportsman and try to be more like him or her. 【2】 For example, a few kids in school might try to get you to cut class with them.

Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids might make fun of them. The idea that ‘everyone’s doing it’ can influence some kids to leave their better judgments, or their common sense, behind.

【3】 Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do.

Even if you are faced with peer pressure while you are alone, you can simply stay away from peers who pressure you to do stuff you know is wrong.

If you continue to face peer pressure and you’re finding it difficult to handle, talk to someone you trust. 【4】

A．You might follow whatever he or she does.

B．But sometimes peers influence each other in negative ways.

C．Talk to the peer who pressure you and you will feel much better.

D．It is tough to be the only one who says ‘no’ to peer pressure, but you can’t do it.

E．Other decisions involve serious moral questions, like whether to cut class, try cigarettes, or lie to your parents.

F．Talking to a parent, teacher, or school counselor can help you feel much better and prepare you for the next time you face peer pressure.

23、   I was on the way to my friend’s house. She lives at the top of a high hill. Up the hill, my four-year-old daughter, Colette, refused to take another step, and as a mother, I had to carry her on my back. Unluckily, we were stuck halfway.

The road to my friend’s house is so narrow that drivers, upon discovering it’s a dead end for a car, have to go back down the hill because there’s no place to turn around. That happened to me once, which was why I just walked here today. But we were still stuck.

I saw a man approaching. “Do me a favor. My finger was cut. Please call 911,” the man said. With his left hand, he put his handkerchief (手帕) around his bloody right hand and held it up.

“No phone,” I said, as if English were also my second language. “I have a phone,” he said, and lowered his chin toward his front pocket. I didn’t want to reach my hand there, but the blood did look real. In his pocket, I found a phone. I took it out. I was afraid that it was dangerous to stand there, so I stepped back out of arm’s reach, and then called 911.

A woman operator answered, and after I gave her the address, I said, “I’m here with this guy, and he said he cut his finger.”

“Is it bad?” the operator asked. “Yes. It’s bad.” I told her. The operator asked again, “Did he cut it off?” Now, there was a question I hadn’t thought of. “Did you cut it off?” I asked the man. He answered immediately, “Yes.” He breathed a sigh of relief as he finally made someone understand the situation.

I told the operator, “Yes. He cut it off.” “Keep the finger,” she told me, “the ambulance will be there in a minute!” Finally, the ambulance picked up the man and we struggled to reach my friend’s house.

【1】What trouble did the author meet with on the way to her friend’s house?

A.She was stuck halfway.

B.Her friend refused to see her.

C.Her daughter was too tired to drive.

D.Her daughter insisted on going back.

【2】Why did the author give up driving for the visit?

A.There was no road on the hill.

B.Her car was broken on the hill.

C.The road was not fit for driving.

D.She was unable to go back down the hill.

【3】What does the underlined part “the situation” in paragraph 6 refer to?

A.The author’s honesty.

B.The stranger’s address.

C.The author’s broken English.

D.The stranger’s serious accident.

26、Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main points of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Beaver or Polar Bear?

Beaver or polar bear? This is the question Canadians face as they rethink how they want to present themselves to the rest of the world?

It all started when a Conservative senator, Nicole Eaton, called for the replacement of the beaver as Canada’s official symbol. The beaver has represented the country since 1975. “A country’s symbols can change over time as long as they show the spirit of the people and the nation,” she told Reuters.

The debate that followed “has set fur flying across the country,” according to the BBC.

A stone beaver now sits on top of the entrance to the Canadian Parliament and appears on Canadian coins.

Supporters of the beaver say the animal is modest and hardworking. Glynnis Hood of the University of Alberta told the Canadian daily newspaper the National Post that beavers are like Canadians, representing “tenacity, intelligence and an ability to survive even the harshest climates.”

Others say the beaver played an important part in the history of Canada. In the 18th century, fashionable Europeans wore clothes made of beaver fur. Explorers went into the Canadian wilderness to find the fur. At the same time, they discovered more of their country. One member of Parliament from the province Manitoba told the BBC that removing the beaver would ignore its historical impact.

However, supporters of the polar bear believe it is a strong and powerful creature. It represents courage and pride, they say. Polar bears are at the top of the food chain. Beavers, on the other hand, are vegetarians. What is more, they are beaten by birds of prey like the eagle. And which country uses the eagle as its national symbol? Canada’s powerful neighbour, the USA.

BBC reporter Lorraine Mallinder called this an issue of “What does being Canadian mean?”

“No wonder so many Canadians are turning to the polar bear,” she wrote. “They are fed up with being seen as a weak people nation.”

However, the debate is still under way.
